This Independence Day is a good time to remember that our freedoms are under attack, JillDLawrence writes and to fight back against the idea that people in some states should be more free than others.
Red and blue states are not monolithic. Therefore, we should stop pretending, for example, that there are no injured parties when red states ban abortion or make it easy for teenagers and careless people to buy whatever weapons they want — no permits or instruction required. We should also stop pretending that we are 50 walled-off states, each deciding how many freedoms we should enjoy or how many it gets to restrict. Guns cross state lines. People who need abortions cross state lines.
We are in this together, and Congress and the courts should be protecting our rights — not encouraging a free-for-all that leaves some states with far less democracy than others and some Americans feeling far less equal than others.Jill Lawrence is an opinion writer, an editor and the author of"The Art of the Political Deal: How Congress Beat the Odds and Broke Through Gridlock.
